If the motorcycle is on

face of the ground will de-
termine whether it is better to
turn the handlebars to the left
or right. However, the motor-
cycle is more stable on a level
surface with the handlebars
turned to the left than with

Electronic immobiliserProtection against theftThe electronic immobiliser
helps protect your BMW mo-
torcycle from theft, and this
enhanced security is at your
disposal without any need for
you to set parameters or ac-
tivate additional systems. The
engine of a motorcycle fitted
with this electronic immobil-
iser can be started only with
the keys that belong to the vehicle. You can also have
your authorised BMW Mo-
torrad dealer bar individual
keys, for example if a partic-
ular key goes missing. The
engine cannot be started with
a key that has been barred.
In-key electronicsAn electronic component is
integrated into each of your
keys. The motorcycle's elec-
tronics exchange certain con-
tinuously changing signals
with the electronics in the
key; these signals are spe-
cific to your motorcycle and
they are transmitted via the
ring aerial in the ignition lock.
The ignition is not enabled for
starting until the key has been
recognised as "authorised" for
your motorcycle.

to the same ring as the
ignition key used to start the
